1995 hyundai accent- automatic transmission

I recently bought an accent that works fine, but only in D(drive). When I put the car into overdrive, i lose all power and the car wants almost to stall out. I'm thinking maybe a sensor problem or just a bad transmission, please help with an idea of what could be the problem.-Lost In Canada

sounds like a possible shift solenoid. If it's due for a fluid change, do that and add a container of lucas trans conditioner.
